The fab weather continues to beat down, resulting in fields and gardens looking bedraggled with the lack of rain. The crops are growing nicely along the county's fields, a blaze of yellow against the green livery dominating the mainline. Memories of the weathered, fly spattered Westerns in 1976?
27th June I was at Lostwithiel for 66031 working 6G08 to Fowey.
28th I popped up to Liskeard for the cement empties with 70806 in charge. A busy spell on the mainline & branch.
Cheers, Craig
Many thanks to you Craig , now put your feet up for more football!!

Tucked away in platform four at Penzance we see the pressed steel chocolate and cream 2 car unit. Mike Hitchens collection. It was a delight when this unit retired to Cornwall from, I believe, Birmingham. Being in this 'GW' livery made it seem surely destined for preservation. However one of the cabs was damaged by a fire when it was in service on the St Ives branch and the pair were sadly split up. They looked very much in place wherever they went in Cornwall What a shame we cannot, these days, tour the branches in such wonderful stock with all round views. .KJ
